Lan's mother continued, "Big Brother He, you may not know, but after my niece Gu Zhilan went missing, my auntie was particularly self-blaming. Owing to her self-blame, for a long period of time afterwards, she would cling to other people's daughters and refuse to let go, claiming every girl she saw as her Miss Zhilan. She couldn't recognize anyone due to the shock of losing her daughter, clinging only to the memory of finding her beloved child. Big Brother, you are a parent too, you should understand what children mean to us. So, we beg you, if you happen to have any childhood photos of He Zhilan, could you please let us have a look?"
Father He sighed, indeed having been moved by her words.
Indeed, he was a father too; how could he not understand?
